About

“What does it mean to be a musician in the 21st century?”

“To always navigate between what I as a violinist want to be and do not want to be. To climb freely beyond the confines of genres and branches in the search of musical expressions of the world and oneself.
To let oneself be fascinated by the silhouettes of the new and the unknown in their moments of creation as well as by the musical landscapes of the past.
To live as many of the fragile, fleeting moments in which music becomes an existential, interpersonal experience as possible.“

Anna Neubert stages and infiltrates concert settings as a violinist, as the Master of Disaster of the ensemble uBu or as the accomplice of other artists. Her work has been seen and heard for instance at the Schwetzinger Festspiele, AchtBrücken Festival, Bundeskunsthalle Bonn, Villa Massimo Rom, a variety of Kulturbunker and daycares.

“[…] Neubert is as much a virtuoso musician as an emphatic performer. Under the direction of Malin Nagel the evening itself was as Kafkaesque as the text: sometimes mysterious, thought provoking, and deeply impressive.” (Bonner Generalanzeiger, Guido Krawinkel)
